Speeding Up

barryzhang27

I've been taking LR sections untimed and generally get between -0 and -2. Depending on the overall difficulty of the section I usually take between 35-45 minutes. However, when I take timed practice tests my accuracy goes down. I notice that many of the questions I missed were because I overlook certain details that would've clued me into the right answer, and on blind review I usually catch all of these errors. Any tips as to how one should generally go about building up their speed?

Do you think the mental pressure of taking a scored section messes you up? Or the actual speed of the section?
